I'm doing 34 things
I am so happy. We are expecting twins in December! They are little miracle babies to me. This pregnancy has been both full of happiness and sadness. I’m hoping to be past the sadness and worrying though. I was so full of happiness at the ultrasound when they discovered we were having twins only to get a phone call later in the day of that first ultrasound when my doctor told me that it appeared that there are two viable babies and one that was ectopic which could put me and the babies in danger. Heterotopic pregnancies (especially with triplets) are extremely rare though, so she wasn’t sure if she should believe the radiologist at first. After waiting and doing more tests after Easter, they realized that whatever it was, they were going to have to remove it because it was growing in size. I had surgery on Friday, April 13, and the pathology results were that it was a third baby. We would have had triplets. I am still sad by the loss of the baby, but I am so happy that the twins have made it through surgery especially at such a young age since it was very risky.
The babies are developing and growing well and were moving all around on their last ultrasound. One of them (My daughter nicknamed Twin A “Gingerbread”) was sucking her thumb. :) Chelsea’s name for Twin B (I have no idea how she came up with this) is “Cobain.” She thinks they are a boy and a girl. We find out the sex of the babies on July 9 :o)
I am hoping that the rest of the pregnancy will be only full of happy surprises, and hopefully we can make it to Erie to a bigger house and nicer area with more to do before they are here! :o)
